It never bothered him before!!

Maybe I'll get to meet you guys. I'm having my Spyder worked on at Cowtown on May 13th so I'm comfortable that it's ready for our X-country trip.

So I decided to drive straight there and get there a day early.
I made from Redding CA to Needles CA yesterday. No pics but it was a great ride. Heading over to see Big Joe at Kewlmetal right now. See you guys there.
Sounds great.

For those who have not raced against doc, he is LEGIT, and one of those people who have a similar outlook on riding.

Akkkkk!
Went to change oil today and when I went to remove the engine oil drain plug---- the head snapped right off!
Good news it it's not leaking... so I should still be able to make the trip.
Going to ask Cowtown if they're any good with easy-outs.
It's always something!

Not sure if I would be riding it any distances. If it is like I think it is and the head is gone the remaining part of the bolt could vibrate out going down the road. Unless it is pipe thread the shank is probably straight and relies on the bottom edge of the bolt head for friction to keep it tight.

Mo's right on this one, but if you clean the area of any oil and the put some type of rtv gasket maker around the edges it should prevent, any possibilitys of it being able to back out from heat and vibrations, still keep an eye on it, and you should be good to go! Got the boys standing by to take care of it when you roll into Cowtown! again safe travels to all and God's speed and safty to everyone!!!!
